Facing the baring teeth of Wang Xiuqin and her family of three, Lu Wanqing said without fear, "Goudan, if I'm not mistaken, you and Zhou Ling haven't consummated your marriage yet, have you? Because you were injured in the groin last time and haven't been able to have sex, you've been helping Zhou Ling keep it a secret from your mother."
Even if they consummate their marriage, so what? Do you really expect Zhou Ling to help produce offspring? She's been infertile since her miscarriage. Auntie, you're telling me you let Gou Dan marry Zhou Ling just to disgust me and try to take over my house? Was it worth it?"
Is it worth it?
Wang Xiuqin was frozen in place, unable to process or accept the facts stated by Lu Wanqing.
Gou Dan, whose face was still scarred from a snake bite, knew perfectly well that he didn't know if he was still fertile. Zhou Ling, however, kept making excuses to avoid consummating the marriage, even though he was almost fully recovered.
Everyone looked at Wang Xiuqin with pity and strange eyes. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She grabbed Zhou Ling's clothes and loudly questioned, "Is what Lu Wanqing said true? Can you even have children?"
Lu Wanqing overheard Zhou Ling's inability to have more children while she was at the hospital. Guo Hongxia also knew this, yet she still married Zhou Ling off to Lin Gou Dan.
"I...I..." Zhou Ling stammered guiltily, then, pushed to her limit, she jumped up and shouted, "Lin Gou Dan is so ugly, what decent woman would want him? If I weren't infertile, he would never have a wife in his life! Besides, your family didn't lose out, I even got a sewing machine and fifty yuan! You were all smiles when you received the money!"
With a loud "smack," Zhou Ling was slapped hard by Wang Xiuqin. Still not satisfied, she ordered Gou Dan to teach her a lesson.
Lin Gou Dan hesitated at first, but when he saw the look of disgust in Zhou Ling's eyes, he could no longer suppress his anger and started punching and kicking Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling covered her head and kept begging for mercy: "Gou Dan, I'm your wife, please stop hitting me."
Lin Gou Dan did not stop, and no one around helped to stop the fight.
Zhou Ling is a piece of stinking dog shit herself, yet she tries to pin the blame on others. She almost wrongly accused Captain Wang. People like her deserve to be taught a lesson.
"Damn it, I'm so unlucky! I married such a jinx, I haven't gotten any benefits and I'm being laughed at! You're a hen that can't lay eggs, don't ever come back to my house, get as far away as you can!"
Lin Gou Dan came to terms with it; since he couldn't sleep with Zhou Ling anyway, keeping her around would only make him a laughingstock.
Wang Xiuqin had never admired him more than at this moment, and said with a smile, "Son, it's wonderful that you think this way. In the future, Mom will find you a good one."
"Let's disperse!" Wang Guangming said to everyone, seeing that the matter had been resolved.
Actually, Lin Gou Dan and Wang Xiu Qin were still pulling Zhou Ling's hair and kicking her from time to time, but everyone had lost interest. When other families had conflicts, people would try to mediate, but when Zhou Ling was beaten, everyone felt inexplicably happy.
Wang Guangming, holding the baby and holding Chen Xiangxiu's hand, was about to leave when Lu Wanqing stopped them, "You shouldn't cook, come to my house for lunch."
Chen Xiangxiu and Wang Guangming exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and pack up first, then we'll head over later."
Wang Guangming hasn't been home for so long, and she and her children are heartbroken. The family wants to talk for a while.
Lu Wanqing naturally understood and smiled, "Okay, Lin Ye and I will go home and cook first."
Half an hour later, everyone went home for lunch. On the empty road, only Zhou Ling was lying on the ground, her face swollen like a pig's head, and she couldn't even open her eyelids.
She clearly wanted to mess with Lu Wanqing, so how did she end up like this?
Lu Wanqing is too cunning. She even invited Wang Guangming's family to dinner, just because she has some money and wanted to bribe the brigade leader.
Zhou Ling showed no remorse whatsoever. She only told herself that if she had the chance in the future, she must make more money and outdo Lu Wanqing!
She silently stood up, looked around blankly, not knowing where to go.
Lin Gou Dan has already rejected her, so she definitely can't go back. She can only go back to her parents' home.
When she finally made it back to the Zhou family courtyard, she found the gate tightly shut. She could hear voices coming from the kitchen, but when she knocked on the door, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Sigh, they're too materialistic. She framed Wang Guangming just to get revenge for Dad! And now, at this moment, she's abandoning him." Zhou Ling thought to herself, slumping down against the door. Since she had nowhere else to go, she figured she might as well stay there.
In the kitchen, Zhou Tianbao's wife was very unhappy, feeling that her sister-in-law was a disgrace and that she did not want her to come back into the house no matter what. "If you take her in again, I will go back to my parents' home."
Guo Hongxia felt sorry for her daughter, but she was also afraid that her daughter-in-law would really go back to her parents' home. She was in a dilemma and could only ignore Zhou Ling for the time being.
Over there, Lin Ye took out a piece of cured meat from the jar, boiled it in hot water, and then cut it into large slices, preparing to make a cabbage and meat stew later.
Lu Wanqing picked some green beans, chives, and cabbage from Aunt Luo's house and brought them back.
A vegetable garden has been prepared near the new house, but no vegetables have been planted yet. For now, we have to go to Aunt Luo's house to pick vegetables.
Actually, Li Fang usually brings them vegetables, but she only thought of cooking more dishes this time because she was hosting a dinner party.
While Lu Wanqing was picking vegetables, she called Luo Hao over as Lin Ye had instructed.
Luo Hao was naturally happy to join in the eating and drinking when he thought about the opportunity to eat hairy crabs again.
"Haozi, Wang Guangming is new here, so there must be many things he's not familiar with. You should help him out more in the future. Actually, I think you have the makings of a cadre," Lin Ye said to Luo Hao, who was drooling over the hairy crabs.
Luo Hao disagreed, "I'm naturally a carefree person. I don't like being managed by others, and I certainly don't like managing others."
"Alright, alright, when Wang Guangming arrives, stop slacking off and go tidy up the table." Lin Ye was quite exasperated.
Recently, there have been many things to do in the forest, and Luo Hao has become lazy and has stopped going to the back mountain.
Without their hunting, the pheasants on the back mountain would probably be flying everywhere.
After Luo Hao set out the bowls and chopsticks, Wang Guangming arrived with his family.
Lu Wanqing patted the ashes off her clothes and immediately went to greet her, starting to play with the child in Chen Xiangxiu's arms.
The baby has just had milk and is full of energy, smiling at everyone he sees.
When Zhao Xiaolan heard the baby's laughter, she rushed out of her studio. Upon seeing the little one, she was so happy that she danced with joy, making the baby giggle.
"Wanqing, is this your mother-in-law? Look how much she adores her. When are you going to have a baby so she can hold it?" Chen Xiangxiu said with a smile.
Lu Wanqing's face suddenly turned red. How did this dinner invitation turn into a baby-making event?
Seeing that Lu Wanqing was a little embarrassed, Lin Ye quickly put his arm around her shoulder and said, "We are still young and don't want to have children so soon."
